Nearly everyone who wrote me in response to "You've
been living in a Dream World, Neo," asked a variation of the question,
"Is there still time to fix this mess, and if so how?"

Thanks to the many who wrote, but the challenge
we are facing is so huge that it would be highly presumptive of me to
even suggest that I have the answer. So instead, let me just throw out
a few ideas.

First of all, it is very encouraging to see that
there are so many America-loving patriots left out there who understand
the magnitude of the problem we face - that our Constitutional Republic
is all but gone and has been replaced by an illusion of a "two-party"
democracy.

Now that we have decades of trends to evaluate,
the undeniable body of evidence points to the fact that America is
on an accelerating slide toward socialism and moral collapse, no matter
which flavor of the political parties are in charge.

In a telling display of arrogance, the Republican
controlled "U.S. House of Representatives chose May 1, the National
Day of Prayer, to have its first-ever openly homosexual chaplain give
its morning invocation." (WORLD Magazine, May 17, 2003). The stench
of that "prayer" is going to linger over the Capital for quite some
time.

There is something far more sinister at work here
than just the complete incompetence we have come to expect from our
politicians. It is no longer possible to believe that the continual
slide of our country in almost every measurable category could be a
random event of chance.

Spending is out of control and our debt has exploded.
Sodomy is celebrated while traditional values are mocked. In the name
of fighting terror our freedoms are being trashed. We have kicked God
out of every conceivable public place and we have allowed the continued
government-sanctioned murder of 4,000 American unborn children every
single day.

It is very alarming that the pace of the
accelerating slide has remained unchecked without regard to whether
the Republicans or the Democrats are in charge! This means the take-over
of our government is in a far more advanced stage than many of us
were willing to admit.

I often have to take a step back and wonder, "What
have we done to America Lord, what have we done?" And wonder also
if there is enough time left to clean up the mess we have made, before
the whole system comes apart.

A few thoughts:

The first thing we all need to do is to get
on our knees before God and repent. We need to repent for our disobedience.
We need to repent that His people have sat by and done nothing
while so many millions of God's precious children have been slaughtered.
We need to repent that we have taken the blessings of this great nation
and turned it into a country that can no longer even acknowledge
Him in a public building or school. Then, we need to pray that our
leaders would repent and turn from their wicked ways.

When the King of Nineveh understood the urgency
of the warning Jonah delivered, the King took immediate action and repented
- on the very eve of the destruction of Nineveh. We could be that
close to a judgment ourselves!

Second, we need to alert the sleeping masses,
and especially the church, to what has happened to our political system.
The facts are clear - decades of trust and loyal commitment to the
Republican Party has borne little fruit. That is not Republican
bashing and that is not to say that the people who are involved in the
party are insincere. The point is this. It makes absolutely no sense
to continue doing the same things that have so clearly failed to produce
results. Denial is not going to make the problem go away.

The fact is nothing we fought to change has changed,
but instead has only gotten worse - under the control of the very
people we thought were going to fix it!

I don't know about you, but I am not in this fight
just to make the bad things happen a little slower.

Third, we need to educate the people, and
even our own politicians, that our Constitution is still the law of
the land. We have every right to demand that those who have been elected
to office abide by the oaths they took to defend the Constitution.
We also have every right to demand that our leaders reign in the federal
courts, which have been wreaking great havoc across the nation. Our
Constitution contains clear, unambiguous instructions for the proper
role of our government and the courts; and it is a very limited role!
It is against the law for elected officials to act in ways that are
contrary to the Constitution.

We can no longer accept the continuous illegal
activities of those we have entrusted to lead us. We are obligated to
hold them accountable, but we have held back from telling it like it
is for way too long! Being nice has obviously not worked!

Fourth, we need to be willing to sacrifice
an unknown number of election cycles, since the chances of "second party"
candidates winning national elections any time soon seem remote. So
we need to let the "greater of two evils" win for a while if necessary,
until we can find some real statesmen who are willing to obey the law.
Based on past history, "losing" elections will make no difference in
our downward slide, so it is irrelevant which candidate from the Dem/Rep
party wins.

If nothing else, this will flush the enemy
out into the open.

Fifth, it is rather imperative that those
who see clearly what has happened be willing to pull completely out
of the fraudulent "two-party" system. We have wasted enough time
trying to tinker with it. The time has come to cut our losses and move
on.

Sixth, we need to continue to speak out
on behalf of the unborn. When a government is the leading sponsor
in the killing of 42,000,000 people, that government becomes the
equivalent of a hostile, foreign occupying force - an occupying
force that is apparently intent on our extermination! By funding,
participating in and legitimizing the "two-party" charade, we are all
part of the problem.

The phrase "May God bless America" has become
the trite and insincere speech-ending equivalent of "Roger, over and
out." A more appropriate phrase would be "May God have mercy on America."

Can America awake from the dream world?
Enormous obstacles have been laid out in front of us and our success
is by no means assured. But the failure of the current system is virtually
guaranteed.

"It is very alarming
